maria sharapova tennis news: 2008

Israel's dreams of recording a Fed Cup shock against reigning champion Russia were dashed on Sunday after two sensational performances by Maria Sharapova and Anna Chakvetadze at Ramat Hasharon.

Russia too strong for Israel

Shahar Pe'er and Tzipi Obziler gave all they had against the Russian stars, who are ranked No. 5 and No. 7 in the world, but were both outplayed by superior opponents.

A clinical display by newly-crowned Australian Open champion Sharapova limited Pe'er to a mere two games in the first match of the day, with the Russian winning 6-1 6-1 to give the visitors a 2-1 lead in the tie.

Obziler knew she had to defeat Chakvetadze in the final singles match of the tie to force a decisive doubles encounter, but despite winning the first three games of the match, she lost 6-4, 6-2.

Sharapova said. "She's a defensive player and I'm more of an offensive player. I had a few nerves in the end of the match and I'm happy I managed to close it out. I felt that I played really good tennis and even though 95 percent of the crowd was against me, they respected me."
